If Manchin were truly clued in to the gun rights community he would know well that the folks at NAGR have a long reputation of being nothing but scammers. The smart move on his part would have been to ignore them. Go to google and search on NAGR + SCAM and read for yourself.

WOW, good for Joe. Now we need to get rid of liberal politicians in Charles Town that would ban guns like City Councilmen Ms. Poeanessa, Slovver and Bringetot. You know they are all from liberal states like NY, IOWA, DC, NC and the like. Did you happen to see their families there when you were in those other States on vacation last year? That's where they are all from! Maybe you could do a story on liberal people moving to Charles Town and Slovver, Bringetot and Ponessssaa getting them to run for City Council the first year they are here. If makes me wonder what they could know about our City when they have only lived here a few weeks?

As Biden has said "We do not have the man power to enforce the gun laws already on the books" So who is going to enforce gun registration and all the other laws? Just enforce all the laws that are already on the books.

but with Obaamacare we need a list of all the doctors in the area that are pro gun. and doctor can say "He/ she is mentally ill" just because they dont like guns. Manchin is a back stabber himself by supporting this BS

Suppose the liberals banned the sale/possession of ALL cutting tools with a blade over 6 inches long--"assault knives" that criminals & psychos occasionally used as murder weapons. Knives that "nobody NEEDS." And suppose Manchin, while supporting that ban, said the law is aimed at "keeping assault knives from criminals and the mentally ill." If the law doesn't really prevent any murderer from murdering, then should it be passed merely because of its claimed intent? I say no. Prove it will actually prevent the bad events you're claiming it will prevent FIRST. Otherwise, it's a big fraud and waste of time and money.

Manchin said "the only gun-related legislation he has been working on relates to keeping firearms from criminals and the mentally ill." That's what pretty much all the OTHER liberal-based infringements on the good guys were described as, so it's worthless, deceptive rhetoric. It doesn't matter what they CLAIM the restriction was intended to address. What matters is who REALLY ends up being affected by the restriction. If those criminals & mentally ill are the ones who the law doesn't prevent from committing murder, then the law was a stupid waste of money and L.E. resources.

Joe Manchin affirmed that the 2nd amendment is only about hunting. He doesn't believe it's about self defense and protection from tyranny. When I wrote him on his own web site for clarification I never received a response. How typical. Regarding background checks, they're already done in the majority of situations. Private individuals are allowed to transfer guns to one another. How would you enforce background checks among private individuals without total registration? That's another thing that Manchin supports. Oh, and when a senator uses profanity to defend himself then the truth must be hurting him.

Aside from the gun issue, there are two blaring things about this that prove that even okay politicians like Joe are still idiots in reality. First, the title should read "Joe Manchin Talks Honestly..." Poor grammar. Second, learn how to hold the camera sideways when shooting a video.
